Question

Consider the distance formula d=16t^2 , where d is the distance in feet that an object travels and t is the time in seconds that it travels. How long does it take an object to travel 544 feet?

A . √34
B. 34
C. √136
D. 136

Answer 1

Answer:

$\sqrt{34}$ is the time required to travel 544 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to question, the distance formula is given as follows:

$d=16t^{2}$

where d is the distance in feet that an object travels and t is the time in seconds that the object travels.

So, if an object travels 544 feet that means d= 544 feet.

Substituting value of $d=544 feet$ into the equation,

$544=16t^{2}$

$544/16=t^{2}$

$34=t^{2}$

$\sqrt{34}=t$ which is the required answer
